The Buckingham Township Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC) would like to share several helpful resources for residents seeking more information about PFAS and home carbon filtration options for private well water. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are chemicals that have become an increasing environmental and public health concern nationwide, particularly for homes that rely on private wells.
